Advanced Info Magnesium is a remarkable mineral involved in many essential bodily functions. It is involved in the regulation of metabolic processes, including the production of energy from glucose, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Magnesium is of benefit to the cardiovascular system as it tones the vascular system and is necessary for the proper functioning of muscles, including the heart. Approximately half of the body’s magnesium stores are found inside the cells of bodily tissues such as organs. The other half is found combined with calcium and phosphorus in our bones. Magnesium helps promote absorption of other minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium, and plays an important role in the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Chelated magnesium ensures the mineral enters the cells more efficiently, making it more readily absorbed and metabolized by the body.
